What Are the Limitations of Achieving DVP for Large, Off-Chain OTC Crypto Derivative Trades?
The primary limitations are the reliance on bilateral trust, the need for off-chain legal agreements, and the difficulty of synchronizing the final on-chain asset transfer with the off-chain payment/settlement. Large trades may also exceed the liquidity of on-chain DVP solutions.
They often rely on prime brokers or specialized custodians to manage the simultaneous settlement process.
